Waiting for miscarriage to start - how long will it take?

[SummersInHvar]

Looking for advice please. I stopped taking progesterone on Monday as viability scan showed no heartbeat. I’m in a lot of pain right now but no spotting or bleeding yet. Does anyone know please how long it will take for miscarriage to start?
I’m also worried about infection with the ‘contents’ being stuck inside me for too long

Thank you

Hi -I had a miscarriage but my scan at 8 weeks showed everything was ok and then somewhere between then and 12 weeks the baby must have died because that’s when I miscarried -not sure when exactly the baby stopped growing. I didn’t have any more scans so I was “lucky” in the way that I didn’t have to wait for it. I started getting tightenings and they got worse and worse over about a 12 hour period and I finally passed the fetus and I felt instantly better physically.

I’m so sorry you are having a miscarriage. If you are in quite a lot of pain now -this may mean it will happen soon. My pain got worse and worse until it passed it. Hopefully it will happen soon. Sorry it’s so awful! Love and hugs.

I also had a chemical pregnancy and the bleeding came full on prob about 4 days after stopping progesterone but they found nothing on the scan and it sounds like they did see a fetus on yours but with no heartbeat? So sorry. They are my two different experiences.

Thank you @mouse1234567 And I’m so sorry for the pain you’ve gone through also. There was a small fetal pole and yolk sac but no heartbeat. I just had a shower and some clots fell out so I think the process has started. Thank you for your support and helpful information

I’m so sorry -and especially hard at this time of year. Was this your first transfer? I hope for positive things for you in 2022.

Sorry for your loss. I just had a miscarriage at 6 weeks and it was so sad and upsetting. I do feel a little bit better now a few weeks on but be kind to yourself and hopefully you have someone looking after you xx

Thank you @mouse1234567 That’s very kind. Yes it was my first transfer. Did you have success in the end? I hope you have your miracle x

Thank you @Everhopeful41 I’m so sorry to hear you have recently gone through the same thing too. It’s so especially hard for us as they are IVF conceptions and so very wanted. DH has been wonderful, feeling a bit guilty as he’s doing everything but I’m so sore and exhausted. Glad you are feeling better and wishing us both success in the new year x x x

I missed carried at 16 weeks 2 days. Had a private scan the night before and everything seemed fine. Then all of a sudden in the morning ended up pushing my little boy out in the toilet. Rushed to the hospital and then they have to operate to remove the placenta. It’s a horrible feeling and it just doesn’t get easy. I still don’t know why it happened as everything seemed to look fine. However I’m still bleeding at the moment with aches and pains but they supposed to go away after 2 weeks. If anyone has experienced something similar to me please respond would like to know if you ever found out why it happened even tho my baby had a strong heart beat the night before

@Azzik1 I am so terribly sorry. There are no words. That is heartbreaking. I hope someone on here will be able to help you and share their experience. Big hugs

@SummersInHvar thank you x I hope that who ever has been through this horrible experience is blessed with a beautiful child next year x

I am sorry for your pain, hugs to you.

@SummersInHvar I am so sorry you are going through this. I read your other post and it made me cry. I had a miscarriage 5 years ago at around 7 weeks. I heard his heartbeat and I saw the flicker and after a couple of days it stopped beating. I was heartbroken and I cried all through the miscarriage itself. It took me 2 days to eliminate everything. I don't know what was stronger the phsycal pain or the heartbreak. I never recovered after that. Years later I started IVF with my DH. We are unexplained. I had two failed FET, one was a chemical and the other one was a BFN in october. No embryo was tested. While other people have pictures of their children, the only things I have left of mines are embryo photos and scan photos. And then a big void! We have one frozen left and I am so scared of another failure. Regardless of the outcome, I know I will never be the same again. I miss my old self. I am forever sad, depressed and lonely.
I am sending you a big hug, love and strength to get through this awful experience! I hope your wish will come true next year! You are so brave! 💗🍀

@SummersInHvar hope you're managing ok 💐 when this happened to me in August my body just didn't recognise what had happened. I tried the medication and then had surgical management. There was the option of waiting several weeks for my body to react naturally, but I just couldn't cope with the uncertainty. I don't think my mind could fully acknowledge what had happened so my body didn't react.
Thinking of you 💐

@Yuliaaa I have the same feeling of always being sad and lonely. My heart just aches for the pain and suffering my body goes through for IVF and so far no baby to hold to help me heal.

@CurbsideProphet I am so sorry you feel this way. The pain is horrible, no words could describe it. Big hugs!
